How To Pass The General Contractor License Exam THE FIRST TIME!! 

Just wanted to say thank you for the 101 info. I greatly appreciate it.

I’ve been a residential appraiser for 17 years and decided to try this route. I took my first two practice test modules (carpentry and concrete) and got a 61%. It’s really hard material for someone that has never worked in construction. Going to regroup and try again tomorrow on these practice tests.

Best advice!!!

Thank you, this video helped me so much.

That intro beat hard!

You taught the perfect way not only to pass the contractors test but also any test. Thanks for the video

Just passed my ICC G13 exam today (first time around). The vid definitely gave me a bit more direction on how to study. Extra emphasis on understanding of how to use the book (I had some reasonable experience from school while studying structural engineering). Main sections used were wood framing, planning, administration, and oddly foundation reinforcement. Also, extra emphasis on knowing what the question is asking in regards to section. Also in CO, so this was cool to hear from a local.

Thanks. You explanation was very good bb

Great info !

Passing the Contractor exam is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don't have time for your studies l'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Willard

good to know, we should already know...

Amazing video man

Thank you this was very helpful

Great info thank you

Thanks!

I had a Mass 00 non restricted supers license (highest) for over 30 years. Moved to Kc they would not reciprocate. I took that class A at least 6 times and failed. I ended getting my C. I am going at it again. I am a contractor because I was never good at school and books. Thanks for the tips but I already did all these great tips.

I'm taking notes

In california is different you can no bring anything just your license they provide you everything

Thank you

I’m a licensed real estate broker and usmc veteran. Ready to get my GC license. Been putting it off for years.

Hi I’m Gerald I really appreciate the way you present the show. Do you sell books for the exam

thanks a lot

Is there any way I could contact you personally? I am in a bind my building was hit by a car. And we’re a couple of months from starting to build and I cannot find a contractor that is not trying to rake me over the coals. I have been a builder for twenty years just never been licensed.

Very good , nice and clear , for some reason took me to your site, I want to take the Florida GC test, do you have any links to recommend me, thank you

Thanks for the video. You said, multiple times, that you should already know a lot of this information. Is there a resource where I can learn all of this information?

In AZ, removable tabs are NOT permitted. And we are currently testing IRC 2018...

As you say “ you should already know that”… I’m over here trying to learn anything about it. I know nothing, I may know something but no videos are explaining down to what it’s really like. Like do I need to know extended math equations, know and be able to do concrete, electrical, framing… like do it all myself? Wish I could just be sidekick to someone who’s willing ti teach me

I think i have that same calculator from the late 80s.

I just took my c-13 they didn’t let me take anything in I had to use there calculator on the computer and there notepad I was stressful doin general next

Hi , the link you mentioned under practice test in description box doesn’t have the 2021 bundle . Please suggest where can I find the 2021 prep bundle from the contractor training website. thanks

Minnesota doesn't allow tabbing book or writing in book

For anyone taking this exam outside of CO, make sure to check the book requirements before writing in it. In MS we can't write in thev book, only tabs.

I’m gonna take your advice and get tested….. and if your info is as good as i think it is….. I’ll send on a super chat !!!

would the general residential contractor class c be the correct certification for residential excavation company? I'm finding that to be the ICC G13?

I almost passed my MA Unrestricted CSL only by 3 questions my first time...I've been kicking myself every day, taking it my 2nd time tomorrow!

In TN we can’t use post it’s to tab they have to be permanent tabs. Also we can only highlight and underline in the books. We can’t write anything. I appreciate the tidbit about guessing on a question and coming back. I’m guessing a lot of the people that fail don’t finish the test.

I only have the IRC 2021 edition, when I go to see the books in the practice course none of the options use the 2021 edition, Is that a problem or can I just use the 21 edition with no problem?

I am a civil engineer graduated in Brazil, I have masters and my green card process is about my professional career. More then ten years working with residential construction in large scale, big condos wiht diferents types of layout, buildens and houses. So my question is, I have no background in US working wiht constructions, and I've thinking about to take the GC license in MN state, wiht no background in US, I will got make it?

I understand that for California the test is not an open book or they're not allowed to bring anything at all. Does anyone know different for California? Please share if you do. Thank you.

On Pearson vue I see 2018 test available. I cannot find 2021 test available. Can you please help

I love the idea of a test, I’ve seen so many stupid builders or wannabes. I’ve seen police officers on duty building, realtors, landscapers, stay at home moms, etc… Its insane.

I’m also located in Denver 80249, any chance I may be able to pick your brain on the testing or county requirements? Contemplating on starting licensing in Denver. Thanks for the video.

We have the 2021 books will this work for the F12 contractor B test Colorado?

Not in PSI you can't write in ink in the book NO, you have to have preprinted tabs. NO post it notes allowed.

Some of the pre test questions say to reference the concrete manual, you don't mention this book. Should we get it, trying in texas

Do you find where you need to improve if you fail or do you just keep studying until you pass it?

Do you have to show proof of tax filed in the last few years?

Is the ICC F13 exam still based on the 2015 code book?

I'm getting the general contractor license and a plumbing license

I need California General Building B book for my husband, where do we buy it?.

I'm in Mississauga. which college (preferably online) can I attend to pass this exam.

Does this information apply to the state test in Florida?

I’m studying for the B-3 ( R61) does this apply

where are the links for the practice tests??

Hello, just subscribed to your channel just by looking at the comments! I am a 23 year old girl trying to pass this test in AZ. I have failed twice :( any tips?

I just want to build small backyard storage sheds and this is what I have to go through?

Can you basically pass the exam with this book alone and prior knowledge?? Or is this one of the main books??

how do i check what book their on? i live in michigan by the way

i need practice tests! I go in for exam the 27th !

I am very curious how much it costs financially buying the books to study and take the test.

Would you recommend get the 2018 IRC 2018 or IRC 2021?

Do you have a video on tagging the book?

why not just get the IRC in PDF format and CTRL F; to search for the test answers?

Can you download the PDF version to your laptop and take the laptop?

Please add that your video is specific to Colorado...much of what you said in this video does not apply to AZ exam

“I’d rather be lucky than good.”

What is cost of the ICC Book? how much does it cost to test?

I can't find any info on what to study for my Michigan electrical contractors test. I just passed my masters ( which you must have to get the contractors) and there is no info out there on what to study. I know it is just a bunch of laws, but thats it

question is this IRC book is for all states or for only the state of colorado

I would like to get my licenses for that.!! Please help me.??? I'm will to get it.!!

*testing on the book but not testing on the book… got it

I need the B1, anything for that

I am looking for the book 2021-2023! I still can’t find it

You work out of Bailey colorado?

i was trying to register my exam center on PSI websiite is asking for NCCO ID NUMBER or NASCLA ID NUMBER to create account, please how do i get NCCO ID NUMBER OR NASCLA ID NUMBER to create account to register for an exam center

Isn’t that amazing that we can take a book and a calculator that the test is based upon into the testing session with us and then when we get out into the real world we will most likely never see that book/calculator again and yet you can’t take your phone with you into the test session but yet when you get out into the real world 99.99999% of the time you will keep your phone with you and refer to the phone/internet for answers/suggestions. Maybe it’s time to rethink how we take test and rethink what we are really being tested on/for. If you can’t do basic math then guess what, in the real world we have calculators. If you can’t think of a basic OSHA standard then guess what, the internet has that answer and if the internet and or phone is down like in an apocalyptic scenario then WE ARENT WORRIED ABOUT A FUCKING OSHA RULE/STANDARD!!! WE WILL JUST BE TRYING TO SURVIVE!!!

Michigan is closed book

In where can i buy this book sr

They wouldn't let me use post it notes for tabs

What a great sales pitch.. “hey you need this book! For the rest of your companies life” “okay cool np “ “but we’re going to change a few words and you need to buy another one every couple years or your ducked!! Lmao

Hi I'm a realtor and I want to be a residential general contractor plz help

The scratch paper has to have no writing but it's OK to have written notes in the book? That doesn't make a lot of sense lol... if you were cheating like that, just write the answers in the book instead of the notepad🤷‍♂️😆

So you should pretty much already know everything before you even think of taking this test is what I got

Why not mention the word "Colorado" in your title or the Subject?? Duh!

Your math is off because the percentages you gave total 104%. I checked it twice.

I passed both my tests the first time in cali after studying for a month. It is challenging and they only give you one 5 min pee break.

This is not relevant for NASCLA or North Carolina.

after you passed. Is it worth it? Did it increase your pay?
